SpcU) to Th JuannH ' . Marshfleld, . Or..- July 20. Coquille. county seat of Coos, has coma- to b known as Ilia "city of Hbeautlf ul homes. Probably no other city In southwestern Oregon has as many handsome residen ces as Coqullie and many of these have been erected Quits' recently.,, Coquille is situated in the center of the Coquille valley and being inland Is protected f rorfj the winds of the ocean. -In consequence the cUmate ia the- most Ideal of any part of the county and for this reason to a great extent, the city Is popular as a placa of residence. The . site of the city is rolling enough to make ideal residence spots and there is room for It to grow to sn almost un limited extent One of the highly artistic residences . recently completed is that of R. E. Shine, formerly manager Of the Southern Ore gon company. He resides at Coquille and is connected with one of the banks of that city. Mr. Shine's house is of trie California bungalow type. The fences and lattice are stained to correspond .with tha color schema and the Interior la elegantly finished.

Nye Jr., "well known traveling-man. lit is of the square colonial type and is Surrounded by beautiful grounds. Ad Joining is the home of John Paulson, as large as the Nye residence but of 'a dif ferent type. Another smaller house, but of equal beauty, is that of George E.

AUTHORITIES AT CROSS PURPOSES IN MURDER CASE (Continued From Page One.) hired that car. We know the names and are looking for every one who rode in that car that night. We believe that there will be further squeals, but we also know that there has been much unjust criticism of the department. We will arrest every man connected in the Rosenthal murder and every detail of that crime and the facts leading up to It will be revealed." . Private Detectives reared. Despite Dougherty's confident asser tions, It was learned today that he and his associates were badl worried over the fenr that the private detectives en gaged In the case would arrest the act ual murderers. It was reported that the district attorney had all of the in formation that the police had. and in addition much more. This he has given to his private sleuths, and 40 of them were roported on good authority to night t' be working on the case. Dougherty took issue tonight with the report from the district attorney that Rosenthal was called out of the Metro pole to be shot to death. "That would have been too rough work for the men who committed this crime,'' said Doupherty. "We believe that the men who killed Rosenthal knew he was In the Metropole. So they Just waited for him to come out, and then committed the crime. We are certain that the actual killing of Rosenthal was not de'ideil on until after the car was hind and some of the men now under arrest are likely to tell more before they are finally turned loose, if they ever are." Police Plead Lack of Support. In support of his assertion that the courta have not been jJSHiPljbrUng the police In their war on' gamblers, but , have restored roulette wheels and other apparatus to their owners after the po lice eelzed them in raids, Commissioner Waldo tonight made public a statement showing that the equipment returned in the last year was worth, in round fig ures, $68,000. With tha expectation of complete de velopments, the newspaper squad at po lice headquarters whs reinforced tonight. So numerous were the reporters, and so busy were the photographers that a crowd collected, blocked traffic and was forcibly dispersed by the police. Inspector Hughes threw a cordon of plain clothes men around one of his mysterious "woman witnesses," ordered a taxlcab for her and announced that If the newspaper men or photographers molested her they would be arrested for "disorderly conduct." "Brldgle" Wobber, noted gambler and declared enemy of Rosenthal, who es corted another woman from the head quarters, struck one of the photogra phers across the face when he "snapped" his escort. A crowd gathered, followed "Bridgie" and his friends until they were forced to return and ask police protection. The woman became hys terical and refused to leave headquar ters. She declined to give her name, but loudly declared that she was not con nected with the Rosenthal case. An other squad was formed and she was hustled into n doled cab by the police. Inspector Hughes then ordered all photographors from the building. One who hesitated was ejected and warned not to "ever reenter headquarters." The massive doors were ordered closed to all photographers.

Some comparisons between the cost to tho city of the Broadway bridge and the proposed rental of the new railroad bridge were made by the railroad men yesterday. Hot Attempt to Swindle City.

"The railroad bridge is there by suf ferance and without authority of law, as the decision of the supreme court proves. And the city can have the use of the bridge without delay and should proceed at once to force the railroad to trial before a Jury.'' Although a special foroe of men worked steadily yesterday it was found i impossible to complete the track on the new. railroad bridge to run tho first train as scheduled yesterday evening. This was a disappointment to Chief Engineer and Assistant General Man ager O. W. Boschke, who stayed on the ground all day. He says the train of ballast cars will cross the bridge today and that passenger trains will begin crossing the bridge tomorrow. SASSY "S.P. SURVEYORS GET THEIR COMPANY TROUBLE WITH THE OWNER OF TIOELANDS (Speciil to Th Journal.) Newport, Or., July 21. The Southern Pacific surveyors at work on the tlde lsnds of Yaqulna bay, which were re cently given the railroad company by the state supreme court, met their first opposition this week. From all ac counts tha skirmish was Woodless, but tho railroad men had to retreat. Hunnlng their lines up the river a few mllea above Newport, they started across the summer home of Pr. A. D. Mclntyre of Portland. Mrs. Mclntyre 1t-Benri,-ht"nfrtore"Tor-thfl-Tsnroaa people, and" as soon as she knew who they were requested them to leave her grounds. After a short parley they did so, civilly enough, but word wss soon afterward brought to Mrs. Mclntyre that "That old lady will havs to pay dear for her d d old wharf when the S. P. g.s hold of it." Mrs. Mclntyre then refused to let them run a line across to facilitate. their further work. She ssld she did not mind being called an old lady, but that as to paying rent to the railroad com pany, the company had better look up a few titles. The Mclntyre property Is a part of the old Trtjrnmy Ferr home-stetffj,-TneTtrst' land to" be settled "on that part of the river, and the patent to which, antedates th railroad claim by several years.
